LINKS to prepare for Wednesday's Docudrama Mo Is Shy, 6-8pm
("reading the affidavit is a bit like reading MadLibs"--Trevor Aaronson, Terror Factory talk at Columbia University on the day of Mohamed Mohamud's conviction)

Joy Harjo has written a jarring account of her early years from an omnipresent point of view that informs us of the whys and from wheres her work originates...A fitting addition to my show with the loose "Crazy" theme.

You will want to listen in on April 19th at 6PM Portland time.

I want to welcome my new listeners from across the web, hope you enjoy, OSIYO with Redwillow!

When the Occupy Portland encampment began on October 6th, we at KBOO knew that we would be very involved in reporting on the movement – the issues, the constituency involved, the bottom-up civic activism displayed by the camp’s ad-hoc organizers all spoke directly to KBOO’s long-established values of peace, justice, democracy, human rights, multiculturalism, freedom of expression and social change.

But I don’t think any of us realized at the time just how entrenched our reporting would become.

KBOO's former PM News and Public Affairs Director (2003- 2005), Robert Jefferson, has been working for the last 4 years in Japan at NHK, Japan's public broadcasting station, in Tokyo. Since the earthquake and tsunami hit, Robert has been using social media to help get the word out, share information and organize relief efforts.
